Libra Industries expands its ReadyShip Recycling Program, offering up to 80 percent cost savings through a zero-waste PPE glove laundering initiative.
-- Libra Industries' recently expanded ReadyShip Recycling Program addresses dual priorities for procurement and sustainability managers by reducing expenses and eliminating landfill contributions through an innovative closed-loop cleaning process for personal protective equipment. The service has been touted as a strategic solution for companies seeking measurable increases in financial performance while also meeting corporate sustainability mandates.

The announcement responds to mounting challenges in manufacturing and industrial sectors, where disposable PPE contributes significantly to landfill accumulation and resource depletion. As global PPE consumption continues to rise—with an estimated 129 billion masks and 65 billion gloves used monthly during peak pandemic periods—manufacturers face increasing pressure to adopt sustainable alternatives that align with environmental responsibility and operational efficiency.
To meet this challenge, Libra is expanding its flagship PPE recycling system through the implementation of a trial period for companies interested in joining the program. According to company records, Libra has already diverted nearly 12 million pounds of reusable protective equipment from landfills through ReadyShip, and now hopes to rapidly increase that number by bringing new partners into the ecosystem.
Libra collects used gloves and other protective gear from client facilities, then cleans items using EPA-registered sanitizers and controlled multi-cycle wash formulas designed to meet or exceed industry hygiene standards. Following thorough inspection, the restored PPE is redistributed to facilities for immediate reuse, maintaining strict safety and performance benchmarks throughout the process. The ReadyShip program is also fully customizable to meet the specific needs of different organizations, allowing manufacturers to scale the service according to facility size, production volume, and operational requirements.
As they highlight on their website, reusable PPE extends product lifespan significantly compared to disposable alternatives, with certain durable materials such as Kevlar offering further enhanced longevity. This extended use reduces the overall environmental footprint by conserving water, energy, and raw materials during manufacturing cycles, reinforcing broader sustainability objectives beyond simple waste diversion.
With over 55 years of experience in textile restoration and reuse, Libra has generated more than $159 million in cost avoidance for clients nationwide, establishing credibility as a strategic partner rather than a transactional vendor.
